Since 1957, the NH Academy of Performing Arts (NHAPA) has trained thousands of dancers. Focusing on dance education and performance skills, NHAPA proudly supports the non-profit Seacoast Civic Dance Company (SCDC) - a troupe of auditioned youth (ages 10-18) from the Seacoast and North Shore regions who perform at a multitude of community events and venues throughout New England and the US. Most recently, they performed at the Wentworth By The Sea for the Seacoast United Foundation Gala. In March the troupe will host their annual GALA at the Blue Ocean Music Hall in Salisbury.
